[Prophet Tenebrae]

As people have said - the diversity of interests and people makes it impossible for a simple answer. About as glib as you can be is - there are aspects that are negative and positive.

Obviously, BE's very close ties to more overt means objectification - mind control and bimbofication and to a lesser extent nymphomania (as the first two imply some destruction of the self and/or mindrape...) doesn't do it any favours. I'd challenge someone to come up with a meaningful argument that disputes an inherently misogynistic slant to the majority of MC/bimbo stuff.

In a more direct sense, I've always felt that the actual enlarging of breasts is... ambiguous in whether it represents something positive or negative for the woman. Obviously, we have the sliding scale of the kind of story where the woman becomes little more than a vehicle for a pair of enormous breasts - which are the centre of attention and lead to a very literal objectification (hell, by that point it's getting to straight forward dehumanising) of the woman and that's about as sexist as it gets, you've turned a normal woman into little more a pair of tits.

Then of course you have the other end of the spectrum were breasts aren't an impediment but rather, act as empowering - I think the most literal example of this I can recall is a concept DruulEmpire floated on the Plume which he dubbed as "drums" and breasts were basically not just breasts but doing all bunch of other things, so the larger the breasts, the more powerful the woman. I'm sure we can all think of the scenario where the down on her luck (and flat) heroine is faced with a bitchy antagonist who happens to have the biggest tits around... And of course, it

Even that side of the scale is a bit iffy because while it may present the experience as positive for the girl and she benefits from having larger breasts, the fact is - she needed larger breasts to achieve her goals... and hence, the tacit admission is that certain body types are preferable. Although, I would say if this is tempered with a message that the heroine's personality is the important thing - then it's probably fine... although, that MAY smack of hypocrisy.

I think perhaps the question "Is BE sexist?" is the wrong one. I would probably ask: Is BE (or indeed FTF as a whole) inherently misogynistic? To which I'd say no. Hoorah!
